Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 sheets aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lay out 4 large sheets of aluminum foil on a flat surface.
Lightly coat each piece of foil with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place one chicken breast on the center of each foil sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Divide the broccoli florets evenly and layer them on top of each chicken breast.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the broccoli on each packet.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the broccoli and cheese layers.
Fold the sides of the aluminum foil up and over the chicken to create a sealed packet. Make sure the edges are tightly crimped to prevent leaks.
Place the chicken packets on a baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the broccoli is tender.
Carefully open the packets (be cautious of steam!) and transfer the contents to a plate.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Chicken Broccoli Packets!
